The granddaughter of a Gallipoli veteran and the niece of three soldiers and a pilot who served in WWII, Mary-Anne draws on her own family history to inspire and inform her writing. Her first novel 'Gallipoli Street' ranked the third highest debut novel in Australia in 2015 and both subsequent novels are also bestsellers. 'In a Great Southern Land' is her epic new story about the Eureka Stockade and is due for release April 2019.
'Certainly my novels are fictional however family story
winds its way in and I hope this lends authenticity to the tales.
They gave so much. Lest we ever forget.'
